The most beautiful and important fountain in Rome is also one of the most romantic, and we all know the legend of the Trevi Fountain: making a wish by throwing a coin over your shoulder will bring you back to Rome.
But the Fontana di Trevi, or Trevi Fountain, hides other myths and legends in Rome, developed in over two hundred years of history (the fountain was inaugurated in 1761).
One legend regards Nicola Salvi, who is the architect behind the fountain’s design, and a large vase that dresses a corner of the fountain on via della Stamperia.
The story goes that the architect didn’t get along with a barber in the area, who continued to criticise the fountain and the work.
In theory, Salvi put the vase right in front of the Barber shop so the barber could no longer look at the construction.
The vase was renamed after an ace of playing cards, “asso di coppe”, due to its similar form.
